Investors often overlook SEC filings, and it is the job of the 10Q Detective to dig through businesses’ 8-K and 10-Q SEC filings, looking for financial statement ‘soft spots,'(depreciation policies, warranty reserves, and restructuring charges, etc.)that may materially impact Quality of Earnings.

Special Interests and Hillary Clinton

After seven years of a President who listens only to the special interests, you're ready for a President who brings your voice, your values, and your dreams to your White House. ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton, February 5, 2008

Is the erstwhile Democratic frontrunner for President talking about George Walker Bush—or is she referring to her husband, William Jefferson Clinton [who put friends of the couple from agricultural giant Monsanto Co (MON-$120.76) in positions of influence at the FDA, as US Agricultural Trade Representatives, on International Biotechnology Consultative Forums, and more.]?

Editor David J. Phillips voted for the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, in the year 2000 election. He left his chad hanging in the 2004 presidential election--exercising his right to NOT vote for any candidate. The 10Q Detective has a Full Disclosure Policy.

What? No other president has ever appointed friends or people they know to positions of power? If your policy is full disclosure, you should attack everyone who has ever done that, not just one candidate and president. Also, being married doesn't necessarily mean you will act the same way as your spouse. I like your site and think you do good work, but I come here for financial analysis, not political.
